New (framed) art.

I'm so excited that I finally got these prints framed!

Excuse the bad picture quality...my room does not have good lighting.

This is my print from The Black Apple. I love it so much! I bought it to celebrate selling my first two wallets on Etsy. :) I was upstairs in the loft looking for Christmas decorations, and I just put my hands right on this old empty frame. It was the perfect color!

This is my "Mad Hatter" print from The Little Fox's Alice series. It came from the UK, so I had to trim it down a little for the frame. I bought this frame at Goodwill for $1.69 and painted it a dark burgundy color to match the picture with cheap ($1) acrylic paint. I only put one coat on so some of the dark wood would still show through. The print is sized different from US sizes, so I had to paint a long section of paper to slide in the top and bottom of the frame to hide the white trim of the print (see in the last picture, too).

This is my "Red Queen"/ croquet game print, also from The Little Fox's Alice series. This frame was also $1.69 and painted with a coat of the dark burgundy paint.

Sorry for the wall clutter in the first picture. :) My walls are covered, and I have to take down something in order to put up new things. And I hate to take down any of my Elvis/Lucy items!
